Katy Boyd

"...could very well be one of Americana’s top new voices!" Chuck Dauphin for the Nashville Music News

“Boyd is one of those golden low key fires that burns like the original Chanukah candles.  Practically a distaff Billy Joe Shaver, this is some of the meatiest songwriting this side of Townes Van Zandt.” Chris Spector, MIDWEST RECORD – CHICAGO, IL

"With the help of musicians from the bands of Ricky Skaggs and Delbert McClinton, and Nancy Griffiths’ producer Thomm Jutz behind the board, Katy Boyd has fashioned an album both beautiful and heartbreaking; an album that may or may not be drawn from her own experience, but feels real, and close to the bone." David McGee, the Bluegrass Special Online Magazine

"What were Virgin records doing when they failed to put any Katy Boyd discs out? " Paul Riley, Country Music People

“Paper Hearts” is the best Americana cd I’ve heard in many years....Very recommended" Roots Revival Belgium

"It’s safe to say that this album has some of the best, most sharply observed tales of life with all it’s warts, in modern day country music. In fact that can be extended to any form of music, such is the power of the stories that this tremendously talented country singer songwriter has come up with. Easy listening they certainly aren’t, but quite evocative, at times harrowing, stories they certainly are. " Mike Morrison, American Roots UK 2012

"It’s hard not to fall in love with this delightful collection, as I have upon first listen....It’s an album of never-ageing, never-tiring quality and one which proves its potential to be played time and time again." Emily Saxton, Maverick Magazine, Sept 2012
